I've got 10 soaps/creams that I rotate through. I like them all. The VDH Deluxe is the only one that I have finished and replaced because that is the one that I started with before acquiring the rest. There are about 3 more that I would like to add, but I can't really justify it. Or, do I need to justify it?
Why do I even have anything else?

Yes mwf, synergy, and B&M
I haven't tried them all yet. ... but so far, the one I would say why would I ever use anything else about is MWF. It's perfect, except for the scent.

Yes, and with those same three soaps especially. And also, of course, with the Irisch Moos stick.
I've been alternating between Proraso White soap and VDH Deluxe. Both give me a great face lather and are easy to use. Usually I'll go a week or two with one, then switch to the other for a couple weeks, etc.
I follow the 3017 method and my soap collection has been limited to top quality stuff. Irrespective of price, they are all great performers. Seeing as I only open a new soap every few months, the "wow" factor is rare enough but it also comes into play when I travel and use a Palmolive, Valobra, Wilkinson Sword, Speick or Harris shave stick.
Good soap is worth every cent.

6th time ... really should choose something else tomorrow!
I've done it with a brand, which I thought was even stranger at the time.
I at one time owned probably 13 Caties Bubbles soaps. I now own none and have 7 or 8 Barrister and Mann soaps and nothing else.

MWF - It's like a soapy milkshake for your whiskers...
Failed ... probably going to 3017 it.
I really notice the scent differences when I switch to another in my den. I think my nose gets used to the same thing after several days, but when I change, I'm like, "Wow, this smells great!"
Being in the yearly restraint, I'm slowly culling down my herd and finding soaps that really work well for me from both a performance and scent standpoint (Mike's, Tabac, Mystic Waters, B&M, Stirling). I have PIF'd or traded quite a few as well.
